I am keeping my fingers crossed for this one since the wombat is my favorite animal!

Ha. Boots has been quite a doll to me actually. :-) Though I still don't seem to be able to concept something that'll swing.

And why do I see entries that include colors not in the specifications? Are the colors for Illustrator different than those for Photoshop?

White and black really do count, anything that has to be applied on the shirt with ink counts as a color.

For your other question, the colors specified in the submission guidelines are only for the background color- the color of the t-shirt itself. For the ink colors, they can match pretty much any color, but the real pros (not me) match the color themselves with pantone colors. Search for a color chart you can use on the Net.

One more suggestion, check out the top ranked shirts and see how they incorporate their design into the background to really show off the details of their work. I don't think a shirt has won in a long time- if ever - that only showed the shirt with the design on it.

Just suggestions, take them with a grain of salt because the best I have done is 14th place.

Seki, this is amazing. I'm in agreement that this is one of your best designs here at Woot I've seen. It looks like you stepped out of your comfort zone a bit; the results for doing that here look like they will pay off. With how the Red Riding images do "pop" up in pop culture (Angela Carter's literature, Anne Sexton poetry, movies like "The Howling," etc.) this is really neat take. To sum it all up, "Wow."

Alright, so here we go...the robot is removing the streamlined, clean outer shell to reveal his true gritty self. Feel free to parlay that into man's plight to resist conforming to society's standards for beauty...or whatever. Hope that helps

Oh...my....gosh.....I hadn't even thought of that! What a fantastic idea! I don't think this design has a remote shot at winning the derby amongst all of the other great pieces this week, but if it did, I think replacing the yellow with glow ink would be just the thing!
